Pinot Grigio: The Art of Effortless Elegance

Pinot Grigio stands as one of the world's most beloved white varieties, treasured for its ability to combine refreshing simplicity with surprising complexity. At Millon, our Pinot Grigio wine showcases the distinctive character that emerges when this elegant variety meets South Australia's cool-climate growing conditions. The Pinot Grigio taste reveals layers of crisp apple, pear, and honeysuckle, complemented by whispers of lime and lychee that create the signature profile of premium Pinot Grigio wine. Each bottle embodies our commitment to capturing the pure expression of fruit and terroir, resulting in wines that speak with both freshness and finesse.

Each sip reveals the careful attention to detail that transforms quality fruit into wines of distinction and grace.
